Synopsis	C:\Bethke>Run DOS, Run! Bad command or file name. C:\Bethle> Jack Burroughs is a man more accustomed to saving documents than saving his skin. The Information Superhighway may be a busy place, but, as any Junior Assistant Software Engineer for Monolithic Diversified Enterprises (Building 305) will tell you, it's not easy getting out of the bicycle lane. For Jack Burroughs, however, things are about to change. [ENTER] Bad command or file name. C:\Bethle> Before you can say 'relational database', Jack finds himself caught in a tangled cyberweb of corporate double-dealing and virtual espionage. And when he's forced to put his life on-line, it soon becomes apparent that his grip on (virtual) reality is by no means secure. [ENTER] Bad command or file name. C:\Bethke> HEADCRASH - Don't get caught with your systems down. [ENTER]

Review	Awarded the Philip K. Dick Award. "Bethke has taken the computer industry and thrown it in a blender . . . savagely funny."--Seattle Weekly.
